Ebenezer Scrooge era un hombre avaro. Su avaricia y frialdad arrugaron sus facciones, enrojecieron sus ojos y tornaron sus labios de color azul. Hasta su forma de caminar fue endurecida por ahorrar energías. Era tal su avaricia que ni el mal clima podía quitarle una reacción. Para el Sr. Scrooge, Navidad era una fecha caracterizada por la ineficiencia. Detestaba la ineficiencia, el gasto innecesario de dinero en regalos para personas mal agradecidas y caridades para holgazanes y vagabundos indignos de ayuda.

>"Al diavolo il Natale con tutta l'allegria! O che altro è il Natale se non un giorno di scadenze quando non si hanno soldi; un giorno in cui ci si ritrova più vecchi di un anno e nemmeno di un'ora più ricchi; un giorno di chiusura di bilancio che ci dà, dopo dodici mesi, la bella soddisfazione di non trovare una sola partita all'attivo? Se potessi fare a modo mio, ogni idiota che se ne va in giro con questo "allegro Natale" in bocca, dovrebbe essere bollito nella propria pentola e sotterrato con uno stecco di agrifoglio nel cuore. Sì, proprio!"
